Description
The Chromatic Tendrus is a monster that relies on its 6 tendrils for hunting. Each tendril extrudes out from a bulbous base and contains a small orb, colored based on the damage that comes from it: green for poison, red for fire, light blue for cold, blue for thunder, yellow for lightning, and one with no coloring for melee.
The base of the bulb has four small feet that allow the Tendrus to shuffle along the ground towards its prey. Although not fast, this monster excels at range against a variety of resistant foes.
